Hugh Jackman “Defends” Blake Lively from Brendon Sklenar: “What the hell are you doing messing with my best buddy’s wife?”
‘It Ends with Us’ is an upcoming American romantic drama film directed by Justin Baldoni and based on Colleen Hoover’s 2016 novel. The film features Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni, Brandon Sklenar, Jenny Slate, and Hasan Minhaj.
Lively is currently fresh from the set of ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ a superhero movie in which she briefly appeared as Lady Deadpool – a character that was based on her along with her husband, Ryan Reynolds, and a friend, Hugh Jackman who played the titular roles.
Now the promotion for ‘It Ends with Us’ already started, and it seems that Ryan took it upon himself to promote the movie on his YouTube channel as he “hosted” his wife’s romantic interest in the upcoming movie, Brandon Sklenar.
The whole interview is absolutely hilarious during which Reynolds attempts to be as awkward as possible and Sklenar pretends to be as embarrassed as it’s humanly possible. At one point Reynolds starts commenting on Sklenar’s backside with hilarious commentary:
Is that genetics? Do you have some sort of, like, low-angle squat routine to pop that region in that way? I mean, what’s going on here, man? Are you smuggling pumpkins? Got a couple of small pumpkins there? Jesus Christ, my heart is beating like crazy right now.
Then around 4 minute mark….Hugh Jackman joins the interview in a dramatic fashion:
Hugh: It’s not everyday a guy gets to interview the love interest of his best friend’s wife, and the guy trying to replace Ryan as a husband, and me as his best mate.
Brandon: Holy Shit
Hugh: I’ve never done an interview before, but I’ve done a lot of things, like crazy things, in Australia. You do understand you can’t even get into preschool unless you take a person’s life with your own bare hands. Twice.
Brandon: Totally
Hugh: So listen, I’ve just got one question. What the hell are you doing messing with my best buddy’s wife?
Brandon: Sir, I have no idea, what’s happening at all, today. But I do have to say, while I have you here. Your work in Les Mis…What a triumph! I mean I am a huge fan. You can do it all, you’re a unicorn.
I repeated once more the interview was hilarious and it was all done in good humor – in true Ryan Reynolds style! What do you think? Let us know in the comments below!
